ELASTIC DEMAND: Relatively small changes in demand price cause relatively larger changes in quantity demanded. Elastic demand means that changes in the quantity demanded are relatively responsive to changes in the demand price. An elastic demand has a coefficient of elasticity greater than one (the negative value is ignored). You might want to compare elastic demand to inelastic demand, elastic supply, and inelastic supply.

Lesson 16: Aggregate Shocks | Unit 4: Complex Shifts

Our analysis of AD-curve-induced aggregate market adjustment from one equilibrium to another is more complex when we include the self-correction mechanism from the short run to the long run. Two cases: - Aggregate demand increases.
- Aggregate demand decreases.
The complex adjustment is a two step process: - First: The AD curve shifts, which leads to a short-run equilibrium and moves the aggregate market away from the long-run equilibrium.
- Second: Wages adjust to achieve equilibrium in the labor market--eventually--which changes production costs, shifts the SRAS, and restores long-run equilibrium.

The others are second-degree price discrimination and third-degree price discrimination.
